Kfin Technologies reported a strong Q3 FY26 with revenue including Ascent at ₹323 crore, up 27.9% YoY, driven by the successful integration of Ascent and robust organic growth. EBITDA margins came in at 40.9%, within the guided 40-45% range, despite a 300bps dip due to integration costs. The domestic mutual fund revenue mix declined to 60% as international investor solutions grew to 16.7%, reflecting successful diversification. Management highlighted a 60% win rate in new MF mandates, market share gains to 32.7% in AAUM, and issuer solutions crossing 10,000 corporates. Guidance for FY26 remains 15-20% revenue growth and 40-45% EBITDA margins. Key risk: continued shift to passive ETFs could pressure yields further.
